[BlueOnyx:16569] Re: .ftpaccess file being placed in new userdirectories

[Ken Hohhof]

Actually, for the site in question, "Enable PHP scripting" is set to 
"Disabled".  This particular customer uses it as an FTP site, so there are 
no webpages and no need for PHP.

I could try on another virtual site that has PHP enabled, or create a test 
site.

Would having PHP disabled also disable FTP access for non siteadmins?  Note 
the way the .ftpaccess file works, even the siteadmin cannot see the user 
folders via FTP.

If you have suPHP enabled for the website, then this will do two things:

a.) User Owned Webs will be disabled
b.) FTP access for anyone who is not a siteAdmin will be disabled.

The reason here is that when suPHP is enabled, PHP functionality for
user owned webs simply does not work due to OpenBasedir restrictions.

Other than that: If suPHP is disabled and/or you use "normal" PHP, then
both "User Owned Webs" and "FTP access for non-siteAdmins" can be turned
on or off separately.
